As we continue to make effective plans for an awesome 2018 work year, we wanted to share some New Year’s Resolutions with you that could greatly benefit your nonprofit organization.
New Year’s Resolutions
1) Better Money Management
Gaining necessary funds to adequately run your nonprofit organization can be a challenge. Make every effort you can to closely manage the funds of your organization to maximize its usage and allocate accordingly for the fiscal year.
2) Increase Your Social Media Presence
The world that we live in today is extremely driven by social media. Take advantage of this easy, free, and trendy method of communication! Having your nonprofit active on social media can increase your audience and interact with current and potential donors, supporters, and volunteers more frequently.
Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Reddit are great to use. YouTube is also another way to promote your organization and its activities.
3) Revamp Your Organization’s Correspondence
This is actually one of the easiest resolutions to tackle. Instead of sending out the same generic correspondence each year, simply create something new! Rewrite your “thank you message,” website content, etc., to attract the attention of the reader.
4) Redefine Your Target Audience
In your upcoming team/staff meeting, take a few moments to analyze the mission of your organization and determine which audience(s) you should target this year.
Having more than one target audience is okay!
5) Become Mobile-Friendly
With 9 of 10 American adults owning a mobile phone of some kind, it is extremely important that your website is mobile-friendly.
Mobile-friendly sites are very effective and useful for informing others about your organization and increasing online donations.
